The Perils of Corporate Political Engagement

A recent report by Gallup and Bentley University on business and society adds substance to the concerns about companies expressing political opinions. The report, based on a Gallup Panel web survey of 5,835 US adults conducted in early May of this year, found that the number of Americans who say that businesses should take a public stance on current events is down ten percentage points to 38%, from 48% two years ago.
